MANY A boy

Has so completely riddled
his summer suit that new
clothes are a necessity if he
is to be presentable at school
next week. 1t seems too early
to put on winter clothes,
and yet can you afford to
buy your boy a lightweight
suit to wear the few remain
ing weeks Of mild weather?
Yes, you can afford it in this
way: We have selected from
our spring stock all the small
lots of the medium weight
suits, and have put them
together on bargain counters
marked at a FRACTION
OF THEIR COST.
Among them is almost
sure to be something to fit
your boy, and it will be
economy to buy the suit for
next spring, if he does not
wear it once this fall. Our
new fall stock is also ready
for whoever prefers the heav-
ier clothing. All other ar
ticles worn by the male sex
are likewise accessible.
